CES 2021: Thermaltake Presents the Tower 100 Mini Chassis
Thermaltake, the leading PC DIY premium brand for Case, Cooling, Gaming peripherals, and enthusiast memory solutions, announces the launch of the brand new mini-tower gaming PC case, the Tower 100. Based on the award-winning Tower 900, "Pocket-sized" down into a mini-ITX Form factor powerhouse, take on compact cooling and showcase the build with the perfect presentation.
"There is a trend among hardcore gamers who are choosing smaller cases for their high-performance computer builds. It was a major challenge to transform a full tower case like Tower 900 into an ITX form-factor. Still, the chassis was well-configured for space utilization, expandability, and cooling while also providing an eye-catching appearance. The thermal control is a top priority with such a tiny chassis. Tower 100 is a new benchmark for real ITX high-end gaming systems!" said Kenny Lin, the CEO of Thermaltake.
Featuring support for large graphic card solutions up to 330mm in length, the Tower 100 supports filtered ventilation from top to bottom. Combine the beauty of 4mm thick tempered glass with ventilated steel side panels provides a balance of show and flow. From the foundation, the Tower 100 is opened up for more airflow to the top panels easy push-button cover to provide easy access to connect up the components. Angled top-mounted I/O panel supporting USB 3.2 (Gen2) Type-C with USB 3.0 ports and HD audio for easy connectivity.
With airflow in mind, cable management is also covered throughout the Tower 100 with a custom cover plate. Modular cut out for larger graphic cards, supporting native "No Sag" vertical mounting, provides a convenient way to hide the GPU cables and easily connect to the power supply located at the back of the case. The large grommet provides access for the I/O and cable connections with a modular honeycomb designed backplate that doubles as storage mounting or more airflow thanks to the rear 120/140mm fan option located on the back panel. Straight forward, All-In-One cooling supports 120mm radiator solutions with an additional 120/140mm fan location above the PSU cover and CPU coolers up to 190mm in height.
Providing a modular design, with the enthusiast in mind, easily remove panels for customization or proper maintenance. Mod on with the build to create one-of-a-kind designs and take advantage of easier installation by removing panels from the frame. Removable dust filters make it easy to clean or be removed completely for maximum airflow. Gain more storage with HDD/SSD mounting on the interior side and back panel to lock and load all favorite media and games.
Backed by a limited 3-year warranty, the Tower 100 will be available in the US and Canada in late January.

I don't mind the idea of this type of case design, but I'm not a sff gaming builder so not likely something that'll end up in my fleet.
I know some of the lower-end products are less than desirable, but I don't think their cases are included in that category, IMHO
I may get one of these just for the hell of it, so I can set it next to the big one & call it the "mini me" :)
That thing is freaking everywhere.
Not fussed with water cooling at this point, at least with my current build. Depending on what one actually wants to achieve I could see this case being appropriate or inappropriate. I still like it, and if I were to build in one I might even try to see what I could accomplish with air first.
It's a good case.
It looks like a 3D printer.
Kinda liking the vertical flow, would make a good HTPC... minus the RGB. :p

I was rocking one for my 4770 build for a few years. My sister has it now and its a great case, small size and still fit a large GPU in it.
other than the RAM is from Thermaltake (I'm using G Skill Royalz/Gold, for some color)..
Their Quad fans, although expensive, are fantastic.
I like being able to use the RGB plus software for all the RGB. So far very happy with Thermaltake
Their MX1 Plus water block is pretty awesome, as well as the P32 P5 pump/reservoir. Both
hard to get, but I was lucky to snag 1 of each. Now if I can only get the Core P7 - one
of the finest open chassis around, imo.
